Episode 731
Invisible Eyes (6)
Gokyeong of the Light Spirit Demon Army.
He is a member of the three armies of the Thirteen Emperors of Seongcheon, and his military power is evaluated to be one level below that of the Immortal Emperor.
But that is only an external evaluation. No one can know the winner until they actually compete. It may be stronger or weaker than public opinion. That’s usually what Moorim’s reputation is like.
However, considering the time when Mugeuk was opened and its strength was recognized, it is impossible for anyone among Seongcheon to be lower than Yeonhojeong.
‘I don’t know.’
I never imagined that I would meet the Light Spirit Demon Army here and now.
But now was not the time to think about this or that.
Flash!
The five masked people who were swept away by the cross-shaped sword light of the sword were torn apart.
Gok-gyeong’s eyes sparkled.
Of course I knew that my opponent was a master of martial arts.
The question was, what kind of position does a strong person occupy in martial arts? At first glance, he didn’t seem to be a strong man whose name was on the Seongcheon, but if so, there was a high probability that he was a brat.
But no.
Just by seeing this single move, I was able to understand that the opponent’s strength was not normal.
“You idiots! “Who told you to attack directly?”
Wow!
As soon as he finished speaking, the surviving masked people fell to the rear.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
‘fast?’
Regardless of skill level, the Masked People’s divine law was enormous.
Surprisingly, the level was among the highest among transcendent experts. Even compared to Moyonggun’s speed, there was no significant difference.
It was no exaggeration to say that at that speed, he could almost rival a martial arts master.
‘What on earth are these guys?’
Slurp.
The masked people took out a piece of metal a little larger than the palm of their hand.
It had a strange appearance. It looked like a smaller version of the matchlock gun, which was created about 300 years ago but was in decline.
The masked people pointed their guns at Yeonhojeong.
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong felt the hair on his entire body stand up.
ping! Pabababak!
Before we knew it, five or six holes had opened in the place where Yeonhojeong had disappeared.
Small bullets fired with an extremely quiet sound pierced the ground.
There was a look of surprise on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face as he flew high into the sky.
‘this!’
Inherently, all weapons using gunpowder made a loud sound. This could be seen just by looking at the Tang Dynasty’s golden dragon tablets.
But their memorization was not like that.
Although it made a sound, it was so small that it could not be considered a gunpowder weapon.
hook!
“Where are you looking?”
Before we knew it, Gok-gyeong flew into the air where Yeon Ho-jeong had jumped and swung his fist vigorously.
Yeon Ho-jeong threw a slap at him. The timing and distance were unclear to swing the sword.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
With a loud noise, the two bodies flew in opposite directions.
Cheeeeeeeek!
Gray smoke rose from Yeon Ho-jeong’s left hand as he stepped on the tree and landed on the ground.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face crumpled.
‘It’s so f*cking underground.’
The intense energy of the main weapon evaporated all infiltrating morale.
I felt as if my entire hand was freezing under the hot energy. If there is such a thing as orthodoxy in both eumha and eumhan Jingi Sakong, it can be said to be orthodoxy among orthodoxy.
Meanwhile, Gok-gyeong was also surprised.
“Look at this guy?”
Whoa!
A strange blue and dark energy gathers in the hand and relieves the energy that is trying to penetrate the body.
And the speed was slightly faster than Yeonhojeong.
Crunchy.
Gok-gyeong’s expression changed as he clenched his fist.
“You reacted right there? “It couldn’t have been easy, right?”
“Why are there people here who are as good as a group of light spirit demons?”
Gok-gyeong did not pay attention to what Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“Considering his level, it doesn’t make sense… Oh, he’s a fighter who’s skilled in life-or-death situations. That’s why we were able to stop it.”
It wasn’t such a simple problem, but it seemed like it didn’t matter to Gok-gyeong.
Gok-gyeong frowned.
“I ask again. What are you? “I’ve never heard of someone like you in Tanggeum Murim.”
“….”
“Does not answering mean that you want to hide it? Or is it because of useless stubbornness?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Gok-gyeong, relaxed his posture.
My posture has relaxed, but my senses are becoming more sensitive as time goes by.
Gok-gyeong was able to figure it out at a glance. So I was even more concerned.
‘Being able to sharpen your senses like that means you’re really used to fighting. Even a guy who is quite crazy about fighting is like that…’
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“Before you argue about this or that, just ask one question.”
“The young guy has a rude way of speaking. “Why don’t you change your way of speaking before you argue?”
“Are the people you killed civilians?”
A look of displeasure appeared on Gok-gyeong’s face.
“I don’t know why I’m curious about that, but I looked at the wrong person. “I am a person who only kills those who are guilty.”
The tone of speech was rough, but it was so sincere that anyone who heard it could tell.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, which had been so intense, softened a little.
Crunchy.
Gok-gyeong gently turned his shoulders.
“I’m relieved. “I heard that no civilians were killed.”
“….”
“They talk about cooperation and justice, but I don’t think they are from the Baekdo political faction that is only serving their own interests.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly without realizing it.
Gok-gyeong is a renowned expert in Sapa. They said that although the perception of political factions may not be good, it seems that they are not white just because they are worried about civilians.
This may be because of his origins in Gok-gyeong, but it also means that such ruthless white people actually exist.
“Anyway…”
“That’s it.”
Gok-gyeong spoke honestly.
“If it weren’t for nothing, I would crush that stupid snout, but if you’re a brat like me, I’ll have to use a lot of force. “It hurts me too when I put in a lot of effort in front of a big problem and get stabbed in the back.”
“….”
“But it doesn’t make sense to be held here just because of you.”
Crackle!
A bloody sound rang out from Gok-gyeong’s two fists.
Tsutsutsutsu.
A fraud that burns slowly like fog but brilliantly like a flame.
It seems to be emitting blue flames that emit gray smoke. The masked people standing around Gokgyeong bowed their heads and stepped back.
‘also.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s hands, which were holding the woldo, were sweating.
‘strong. It’s really strong.’
It is different from King Danghyeong or Emperor Haeungyo and King Yangcheon.
I’ve seen enough of their power, but I’ve never fought an opponent who was determined to kill me.
Gokgyeong was different.
This man showed his true will to live and seemed ready to face the end, no matter what. Moreover, this man’s power was more than just a masterpiece.
If a fight broke out, it was clear that Yeonhojeong would also suffer fatal damage, regardless of whether he won or lost.
“I will ask you for the last time.”
“….”
“Please state your affiliation and name.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘What should I do?’
Gok-gyeong was sincere.
He is a master of Seongcheon whom he encountered in an unexpected place and at an unexpected time. Before the surprise could subside, a fight broke out, and through a conversation that lasted only a few words, I learned part of the other person’s personality.
Gokgyeong was a simple person. The smell of blood flows from all over the body, but unexpectedly, it does not fight without reason. It was a hunch.
However, this statement is important because it is simple.
If you continue to keep your mouth shut, it will truly be a matter of life and death, and if you reveal your identity honestly…
“Huh?”
At that time, Gok-gyeong’s eyes turned to Yeon Ho-jeong’s upper body.
“for a moment. “That light armor… where have you seen it before?”
For a moment, Yeonhojeong hesitated.
Gok-gyeong’s frowning eyes grew bigger and bigger.
“you…? “Are you the guy under that nobleman Yangcheon?!”
Isn’t this another unexpected development?
Suddenly, Yeon Ho-jeong remembered the conversation with Yang Cheon.
‘He immediately started throwing his fists, saying he was going to fight, but it was so absurd that I almost got hit. But he didn’t seem like he was crazy about fighting. I just didn’t want to be judged as superior to myself.’
Yes.
Yang Cheon had met Gok Gyeong before. And we even exchanged fists.
The result was, of course, a landslide victory for Yangcheon, but the evaluation of Gokgyeong was significant.
‘There was a clear difference, but it was said to be so great that it could have been avoided if you missed it.’
Indeed, what Yang Cheon said was not wrong.
Gokgyeong’s power, which was felt right before his eyes, was truly incredible. It didn’t seem like he would be pushed back much even if he faced off against a level of Shinseon Emperor level expert right away.
“Speak! “You, Yangcheon’s nobleman…”
“That’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong accepted it obediently.
“I belong to the Mukryong Club. “I can’t reveal any more than that.”
“…The Inkryongbu.”
A look of confusion appeared on Gok-gyeong’s face.
“What is this all of a sudden? “When did the Mukryongbuju raise someone like you?”
“It’s hard to explain.”
“…Well, I guess that’s the way it is. “It must be amazing to be a nobleman with hundreds of snakes growing in his stomach.”
I know more accurately than I thought, right?
“Then what did you come here for? “Is this an order from King Tu?”
“exactly.”
That’s not entirely wrong.
Gok-gyeong, who was glaring at Yeon Ho-jeong with a worried face, sighed deeply.
“Damn it. “I can’t just kill a junior guy because he’s annoying… Anyway, I haven’t liked that old guy for a long time.”
Are you a junior?
“Why am I your junior?”
Gok-gyeong snorted.
“Look at how stiff everything is. “I don’t think anyone would call him a black-faced b*stard, so it’s a cheap art.”
Misunderstandings pile up in an instant.
“done. If I were under that old man’s command, I wouldn’t be able to touch him easily. “I will let you go gently, so forget everything you saw today.”
“….”
“Instead, answer this one thing clearly. “No matter how junior you are, if you are an enemy of us, we can’t just let you go.”
Gok-gyeong asked seriously.
“Did you come because of King Bi?”
Yeon Ho-jeong answered honestly.
“exactly.”
“As expected. “What are you going to do with King Bi?”
Once a lie was caught in the water, it flowed out naturally.
Of course, it was just one lie breathing amidst the nine truths.
“There were no precise instructions given. However, since King Bi has suddenly appeared in this situation, he told me to find out for what purpose he came into the world.”
“…Hmm.”
Gokkyung stroked his chin.
“That’s it?”
“If it is determined that he is an enemy.”
Ugh.
Murderousness spread from Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
His life was so ruthless that even the world’s most beautiful world flinched for a moment.
“You said it was okay to remove it from the scene.”
“Oh my?”
Gok-gyeong smiled cruelly.
“How do you determine if someone is an enemy?”
At that moment, Yeonhojeong knew.
That right here and now is the time to win.
As Yeon Ho-jeong was quietly looking at Gok-gyeong, plausible words flowed out of his mouth.
“Any entity that can be placed in the shadow of the Ink Dragon Club is not an enemy. But if he doesn’t come in, he has no choice but to become an enemy.”
Gok-gyeong’s smile became a little more sinister.
“Then I guess I’m an enemy too? “I have no intention of joining the Mukryong Club.”
“I was ordered to check on King Bi. “There were no light spirit demons anywhere in that order.”
“See this guy? So what if you were ordered to scoop me up? “If that were the case, would you kill me too?”
“If such an order is given.”
“….”
Gok-gyeong’s smile became increasingly fierce.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Gok-gyeong with calm eyes.
After a while.
hook!
The incredible morale that had been blooming in Gok-gyeong’s body disappeared in an instant.
“That old man, I always picked up a decent one.”
Gok-gyeong turned around.
“Follow me, junior. “We are in a position to catch the King of Rain anyway, so it’s up to you whether you react or not.”
“Is that okay?”
“You don’t know where it is, do you?”
“That’s true.”
Gok-gyeong snorted.
“It’s not a bad idea to owe that old man a debt. So, follow me and take a look. Thanks to you, I can borrow some of your skills.”
“What if our goals are different when we actually meet?”
“It couldn’t be any different, right?”
A look of murder appeared on Gok-gyeong’s face.
“If you are King Tu, you will definitely want to kill King Bi.”
